A consultant is a contracted, self-motivated individual who gives experienced and skilled advice or service in a field of special knowledge or training. Agricultural experts contemplating being a consultant need to think about the modus operandi they perceive themselves impersonating. This paper reflects a perspective for recruiting qualified consultants; assumptions; essential qualifications required of consultants; accepting the terms of reference; getting the work done; working with counterparts; maintaining meaningful communication with colleagues; giving answers; disparities between the international consultant and national counterpart; commitment to established project goals; working for, working with, and being with people; and resources for carrying out agricultural education programs in other nations.
